🇯🇲 Michael Hector

As much as he impressed me in the Copa America and I saw him in a game for Reading in their last game of the season against Derby in which they won 3-0, it is quite an odd move. I mean he has years ahead of him him but he is 23, playing in the championship and Reading's third choice CB. He started the first league game of the season and since then has not started a league game for them.

This is what a Reading fan gave me on him: Seems like the club are definitely focusing on fast defenders who can use the ball.

"Still quite raw. Improved a lot of the course of last season but is still prone to the odd mistake. Think of Chris Smalling 4 years ago without the injuries and slightly less talent....

He's also 23 so it's not like he's a teenager either.

He's rated by pretty much all Reading fans but then our standard is a lot lower than Chelsea's. On his day he is brilliant (see FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal).

He has potential (was quite a late bloomer) and is good on the ball but I can't see him ever being a regular in a team higher than mid-table."

Neither of these random, no name CB's seem like Josè signings. We see opposition fans and media haters say that about many of our signings and its dismissed as bullshit by many of us here, but this time it seems true.

I refuse to believe that if we were willing to spend £30m or more on Stones and (if you can believe it) a world record fee on Pogba that we'd stoop down to this level.

no idea why people are complaining about this, its not like we havent been signing players like Hector and loaning them out for years now. This shoudnt surprise any Chelsea fan.

not really. we were buying 16,17 yo and then loaned them out
